The extended-cab frame probably has a longer 'low' section through the middle for the longer cab. I've seen guys cut open the cab floor and rebuild it to fit the frame. This one is an older crewcab, but you get the idea:

Otherwise, look at building new, taller cab/body mounts to attach the cab without cutting it. Kind of like a custom body lift of sorts.
